Testhub

Testhub, registered as TESTHUB TECHNOLOGIES AS, is a Norway-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) company operating in the human resources and recruitment sector. Founded in 2019, the company aims to make recruitment fairer by minimizing cognitive bias in hiring decisions. The firm was established by a team including Jens Martinsen, Evelyn Eyong, and Silje Fladmoe. The current leadership team consists of Silje Lindtvedt Fladmoe as CEO, Bjarte Hansen as CTO, and Jens Martinsen as CPO. Fladmoe has a background in business analysis and international management, with research experience in corporate innovation, while Hansen brings over a decade of experience in building software companies.

The company's core business revolves around a B2B model, providing a tool that automates the screening of job applicants. This software is designed to predict job performance while anonymizing candidates during the initial stages. By doing so, it helps organizations reduce unconscious discrimination and focus on metrics that correlate with performance. The platform presents employers with an anonymous, ranked list of candidates, with identities only revealed when a company decides to proceed with an interview. Revenue is generated through this SaaS offering, which caters to businesses of all sizes looking to streamline their hiring process and improve diversity.

Testhub's product is a recruitment tool that integrates with existing systems like SAP SuccessFactors and TeamTailor. It provides a general performance indicator (GPI) calculated from questionnaires filled out by both the candidate and the employer. The methodology is based on principles from personnel psychology, using mechanical prediction to combine traits with high predictive validity for job performance. This data-driven approach allows hiring managers to assess candidates based on relevant skills and traits rather than intuition, which can be prone to bias. The platform provides features for automated candidate sourcing, assessments, and interview scheduling, along with analytics to track recruitment metrics. The ultimate goal is to increase the likelihood of hiring better candidates, enhancing talent retention and employee satisfaction.
